Comments:
  There is some uncertainty with these 2 recordings (Nov. 1 and 2, 1972 in Boston.
This much I know: Jethro Tull did play both those nights at Boston Garden. I got
both of these in the early 1980's in trade, told they were recorded by a Boston area
taper at the Boston Garden. Both sound like they were recorded close up, not alot of
crowd noise. I did not label them as the 1st and 2nd, and thus do not know which is which.
There is some distinction between the shows. the phone call in what I think is the
Nov. 1st show is for Mike Nelson, in the 2nd it's for Lloyd Bridges. These are clearly
not duplicate recordings, or different recordings of the same concert, although both
were apparently recorded on the same equipment by the same taper and both came from the
same source at the same time. these are both incomplete recordings, but both include
full length, almost complete TAAB's, the beginning of both shows, and are missing the rest
from Cross Eyed Mary on. (probably close to half the show.)
  I have seen the Boston Nov. 71 show circulating on dime, but neither of these. The
TAAB versions in both of these are the full monty versions. (NOT the readers digest
version for rockers with ADD.) this was the last tour I did not see of Jethro Tull,
and clearly one of their very greatest. I wouldn't be much of a tullnut, without some
bricks to lay out. These are my two contributions to the brick pyramid on dime, and
I think both of them are worth your time. The Nov. 2nd (I think) one has less of the
speed variation problem but it is noticable in parts of both (not all of either).
the brick was adventurously played in these shows, not much like the album version,
with some improvisations. track 4 is somewhere between hare and babies wearing nylons
(a mix of both). the Boston tullnut society was already solid for these shows, the
enthusiasm is obvious but not overbearing in the recording. if not for the speed problems
these would both be among the best sounding brick shows I've heard. everything comes
through quite well, including Ian's always interesting banter.
  I believe the Nov. 1st recording has just 1 tape flip cut in the brick, only missing
a few seconds. The Nov. 2nd one is missing some news and weather, but none of the brick.
Do not sell this recording.

Trade freely and losslessly.
Not even Buckingham Palace
is built with bricks THIS thick!

This copy didn't have any artwork so I took the liberty of adding a little,
Enjoy.

*Original Notes*

April 24, 1970 — In early April, when Fleetwood Mac returned to London after an emotional
European tour, Peter Green, devastated by drugs, suddenly announced he would be leaving the
group in late May. Clifford Davis, the band’s manager, reluctantly began cancelling an
upcoming British tour set to begin the following month. Relationships in the stunned band
were strained, but the Mac still had to complete recording “The Green Manalishi
(With the Two-Prong Crown)”, Peter’s final studio effort with them, as well as a B-side for
the single. To underscore the troubled band relationships, Jeremy Spencer opted out of these
sessions to work on his own album.
Despite the high tension, the recording sessions at De Lane Lea Studios in London, driven
by the intense music, still had their moments. Mick set up his new gong, surrounded by six
microphones and miles of cables, in the underground car park below the studio. When Mick
banged his gong, that car park vibrated like a giant bell with an eerie ringing that
reverberated off the walls. Talk about an echo! Another night, Carlos Santana showed up,
and it didn’t take long for a lengthy jam session to start. In the past, Peter often hit
upon brilliant melodic ideas in the midst of jams like these, and on this night, he was
showing Santana some pretty impressive licks. At some point, Peter had introduced Santana to
“Black Magic Woman”, the hit that Carlos would record shortly thereafter for his own band’s
second album. Throughout the sessions, Clifford did his best to convince Peter to stay, but
Greenie steadfastly maintained his intention to leave, seemingly happier now that his
decision was public.

The band puts in great performances of their older, post-Syd and pre-DSotM classics.
In fact, I really don't recall any other 1972 dates when Eclipse was not performed. It seems
the band played a single set, with Saucerful of Secrets as the sole encore.Sadly, there is
a poorly edited cut towards the end of CWtAE. This is either due to a tape flip or was done
to fit the music on the album side.

*Important Info On This Disc*
A recent viewer informed me lately of a flaw I had forgotten to mention about this recording.
The audio runs at approx. half speed. The time listings below are accurate for the proper speed of the recordings. However, they represent themselves as twice that time on media players and play at half speed.
For those with software where you are able to adjust the playback speed, this is a good download. For conventional playback, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.
I don't understand why this recording was presented this way, that's all I CAN say.

Black Sabbath Sheffield 71 (OneBrownMouse Edition)

I spend most of my time on this blog "turning and burning" my collection of boots. Occasionally I get the chance to add some of my own contributions. This find, Sabbath in Sheffield 71, came with a lost and/or incomplete oddity. The rare sample version of a lost demo from 1969, When I Came Down. As it happened, being a big Sabbath fan, I happened to have the FULL version of this seemingly enigmatic track. A track that would not be out of place on the debut album. So, simply enough, I removed the "sample" and added the original. No great feat, but hardcore fans should be happy. I've also modified some of the original art to reflect the update. Hope this doesn't offend. 
For those interested in the complete set of "samples" check out my post  
Black Sabbath Early Demos and Outtakes

Sadly, my talents fall short of repair. This is a great and rare performance, and sounds very good. However the last tracks suffer from the original recorders tape machine running out of batteries, spoiling an otherwise classic Sabbath show (see original notes below). It's not unlistenable, but not wonderful.  I'm positive in today's digital world, this problem can be an "easy" fix. :) 
So onward and upward. I've fixed the mystery track, now to the audio...any takers?

Enjoy!

   Bonus Track (full version)
(10) When I Came Down (2:00)

This recording is famous, especially for including great early live renditions
of the rarely recorded tracks "Into The Void" and "After Forever".
Thanks to the original uploader! Since some people said that this show was
lossy-sourced, I checked and compared aboout 8 versions of it regarding their
sound, running times, spectral and frequency images. Thanks to all those who
sent me their versions for testing, and of course to those who advised me in
lossiness testing! Most of those versions were completely identical. This is
one of them. They all originate from the famous "Sheffield '71" bootleg which
was sourced directly from the master tape, see quoted info below. Regrettably,
I removed the 54 sec. snipped of the 1969 demo song "When I Came Down" that
was originally included here as bonus track. Sorry for that, I have no idea
why I did it. Maybe somebody else can upload it?

Regarding the often discussed lossiness issue: As I mentioned above, I tested a
lot of versions of this show. While there exists a version that is clear
lossy-sourced without ambiguity (probably sourced from 128K MP3), this
(much wider circulated) version is a more complicate case. To make a long
story short: After all the tests I am now sure that this is lossless. Though
it was said that it is directly from the master and definitely lossless when
it started to circulate, it shows a frequency cut-off that might indicate
lossy lineage; however, the cut-off might also just indicate that the source
tape didn't include much sound above 15 kHz (due to the specific charecteristics
if the tape or the recording device that was used). Since the spectral image
(as shown by the software Cool Edit Pro, which does this job much better than
Exact Audio Copy) zoomed to 2 seconds shows NONE of the "lego blocks" that are
typical for lossy-sourced recordings, and no straight, clear-cut boarder between
the black and the blue areas either, some people who are much more experts in
these issues than I am concluded that this is lossless.

FURTHER INFO QUOTED FROM FORMER INFO WEBSITE <SABBATHLIVE.COM>:

'The tape speed begins shifting when the recorders batteries starting waning 

during “Wicked World”. The problem grows a bit worse during the last two tracks 

– “Paranoid” and “Fairies Wear Boots”. These defects are disappointing, but not 

enough to ruin an otherwise wonderful early audience tape.

It is also important to note that this does NOT appear to be the complete show. During this 

era, Sabbath almost always began the show with “N.I.B.”, which is missing here. Instead, the

tape begins with the 2nd song, “War Pigs”. This is a guess on my part, but none of the 

other shows from this era start with “War Pigs”.

SHEFFIELD ’71 (2004 SL / Rock Steady Records): The definitive version! Sourced 

directly from the original master cassette and nicely re-mastered and equalized 

for optimum sound by RF. This CD-R was mysteriously seeded on STG in June 2004 

without any mention of the mystery bonus track – a 54 second sample of the 

unreleased 1969 demo “When I Came Down”!"'

Additional Notes (OneBrownMouse)

Since I had available to me the original full version of "When I Came Down" I thought I'd add 

it and finish off this historic recording.

Enjoy!
